Top HIV Med. 2002 Nov-Dec;10(5):16-20.

Abstract

At the International AIDS Society-USA course in Denver in May 2002, Judith S. Currier, MD, discussed issues in the management of HIV-infected women, focusing primarily on those related to pregnancy. She used 2 case presentations to illustrate questions concerning sex differences in viral load and CD4+ cell counts, appropriate antiretroviral therapy for pregnant women, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, and adverse events in pregnancy.
